The pilot is only for members enrolled in the COVA Care and COVA Connect plans. Members seeking bariatric surgery are required to complete a 12-month education program before being considered for the surgery. This includes 12 months of weight management, nutrition counseling, disease management and personalized coaching and support services through your behavioral health benefit, and 12 months in a weight loss program such as Weight Watchers.
